We are sooo fortunate to be able to see and hear these heroes. Amazing. What a story.. What a guy!
 
Intrepid bastages!!!

there are no words to adequately describe the admiration he and his bunch deserve.

"We've got this idea... we're gonna take this orange crate an' tie a rocket engine to it. Only issue is, we need a, umm, pilot..."

WooF.
 
I saw him several times at the old Sussex County Airshow....even got to chat with him for a minute one time.

He did his famous "both engines out" aerobatics routine in his Shrike. Really something.
At one show they had a former Lufwaffe pilot (flying a glider) as well as Hoover. They were both amazing.
